mullein

Here is a photo of what our mullein may look like next fall. It is a very important lung plant. The flowers are used in tea and tincture form to combat colds and earaches. It is safe for children. The stalks are  also fun to to use for play sword fights and  people also used to use the stalks for torches.

Prairie Dog in Colorado

Below is a prairie dog. They reminded me of the extremely frisky squirrel that bounds from our shed to our trees and all over Xochiquetzal.
